Yankees unlikely to hold fire sale

As Andrew Marchand of ESPN New York writes, "The New York Yankees (47-47) trail the Baltimore Orioles by five games in the AL East with 68 games remaining. They are 3 1/2 games behind Robinson Cano's Seattle Mariners for the second wild card in the AL." With that in mind, chances of the team shedding some of their veteran talent in a fire sale seems quite unlikely.
